Challenge: Animals In Motion (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Location: Manistee, MI
Date: Apr 22, 2009
Galleries: Animals, Birds
Date Uploaded: Apr 24, 2009

 There's a bridge going under the Manistee River near my apartment where the pigeons all live. The move a lot, and there's not a lot of other animals where I live - at least, not if you're impatient ;) And I didn't want to enter a pic of my dog or cat.

A nice catch of the bird in flight. Only real problem is that tree in the middle of the frame that grabs my eye instead of the bird.

Not quite to the same level of expertise as some of the other avian images in this challenge, the image is technically flawed in a couple of ways being under focused in addition to a difficult lighting situation leading to rather flat and dull coloring. The blank sky also enhances these two problems and makes the focus problem stand out. A good effort that might have been improved with a little more patience waiting for a different angle and lighting.

They do not seem to be keen on following anyone :-)

I would probably try to put more contrast into the picture, eliminate some blues and also crop on the right a bit

Follow the Leader - or not in this case . . he'll discover he's on his own in about an hours time when he finally wonders why no-one is answering his quesions and looks behind him :- )
